And after that fight, Mayweather revealed he will fight AGAIN this year against a ‘secret’ opponent.

He said: “I will bring another fight back to the UAE this year.

“It’s a secret. I don’t want to let the cat out the bag right now. But we have an opponent, and I choose the UAE.”

Mayweather CONFIRMS next bout for THIS year after dropping Don Moore

Money would taunt Moore throughout the fight, which was supposed to take place in Dubai last weekend but it was cancelled after United Arab president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed’s death, and never sat down in between rounds.

The American legend also laughed, smiled and made funny noises in the ring while facing his former sparring partner, as well as speak to the crowd, commentators and referee.

The undefeated boxer was having a such a good time with his opponent’s ineffectiveness that he even danced with the ring girls and held up the round card before the seventh round.

But the 45-year-old star also showed a vicious side as he floored his fellow American with a vicious left hook to the liver in the final round with 30 seconds to go before Moore was saved by the bell.

Mayweather started the first round by proving his lightning hand speed as well as reflexes are still there despite his advanced age.

He then went back to his defensive prowess for the second round before putting a show from the third onwards as he winked to the camera.

Mayweather went on the attack in the next two rounds and delivered a barrage of blows to his stunned opponent, who was hit from every angle.

Mayweather revealed he is planning another fight this year

It was at the end of the sixth round, which even saw him even communicating with the commentary team, when Money started dancing with the ring girl.

Moore finally got some offence together in the seventh as he landed a series of punches on his legendary opponent, but they had no effect as he smiled and stuck his tongue out.

Mayweather went for the kill in the final round by flooring his opponent with a nasty body shot but Danger sucked it up and finished the bout.
